then the ceo found out he was fired. what did he do? pc bank of america for firing him. the court jester of the bank of america had the right to fire him. what you guys think? >> you avoid that. >> i will take this subject on. at least did not show any bin and jerry's. melissa: we have to leave it there. that's all the money we have. gerri: tonight, the obama campaign scaling back expectations as president obama gets ready to accept the democratic nomination. described as a fact ticker's nightmare. separating fact from fiction. welcome to "the willis report." gerri: hello, everybody. i'm gerri willis.

on the eve of the august jobs report president obama is presenting his case to keep this out, becoming one night after former president bill clinton's fiery speech as obama already over -- been overshadowed before you walk onstage to back with more on this, new york post columnist of the dnc. founder of the reagan group. i want to start with you. and going to have to cut you both by your last name. let's start with you. what can we expect tonight? is the president going to be overshadowed by bill clinton? >> i think last night he was probably over several lot. there's probably a point to the speech last night where the obama people were saying, my god, get off the states, leaving some room here. it's going to be hard to outdo bill clinton less night. tonight barack obama will do what they have been trying to do all week, make sure that his constituency goes members of the democratic party, all those different factions are together as one on election day. that is used talking to.

he's talking independence. the stalking people in front of an. gerri: some more is being expressed by the obama campaign that maybe you shouldn't have higher expectations, trying to ratchet down. listen to this. gm may. >> we have always believed, very elasticity in the election. i don't believe he should expected. this is a race for we have a small but important lead in battle dress states. it will be very close. gerri: all right. what he stated that? >> i don't think that's what they said. there were deriding him for not getting much of a pounce. expectations. but i think president obama has a lot of work to do tonight. a couple of loose shirt tails. very, very negative. a lot of it.

last night saying that paul bryans budget is immoral and that we are better than they are. you have a standing ovation. it's a kind of very strange thing. morality. the days of the big bowl. that's what i think michael reagan said. there has not been much. this is very much about finding the base. president clinton. i'm not sure how much. he has these other messages coming out of charlotte about jerusalem not being in the platform, got not being in a platform. other controversies that really get in the way, the big message of what president obama new. gerri: i want to pick up on your earlier point. wrote an entire story about obama winning the war of personal attacks. here's what they said.

the argument by implication from obama and directed from his surrogates is not merely the romney is the right choice but there's something fundamentally wrong with them. to make the case obama and his aides, personal techniques, suggesting -- suggests is it ethical to ethical misdeeds. this is gone far now. president obama is taking this to a new level. >> what is going on here, you have both parties in many ways been taken over by the consultants. so you don't have ideas anymore. intellectualism, if you will. it has been reduced basically set the politics of venom. you can be more venomous spirit which party can be more venomous against the other party. and so the argument about ideas and moving forward gets lost in all of the venom. the consultants play a large part of that. gerri: these candidates don't have to listen to their

consultants. they can make a choice on their own and not say these nasty things. >> if it did work it would not be happening. let me take you back to 1960's. pat brown, you know, talking to a class from a black kids, telling about him running for a third term perry by tints who are you running against? am running against an active member ron reagan. black kid been scripted said, was in that an active that such a blanket? are already was behind in the polls before that statement and went ahead 72 hours later. everybody in california, the media and all the people were upset by it. today you could say that. gerri: that is amazing. that is hilarious. >> one of the oddities about some of these, you say the word republican. the audience booze. and it is almost as though it is a kind of war against the other party, like some of the old

street gangs. just the name itself is enough to set the audience off. i don't think i have ever seen anything quite like it. it's not even just about romney, although he, of course, is most of the attacks. but it's about, you know, we are better than they are. that is an amazing thing for one political party to say about another. gerri: one more thing here. that is elizabeth warns, about the system being raped. i think everybody has heard it by now. essentially she says it's an uneven playing field for the middle-class in particular. banks and a whole host of others , but is the middle-class. >> everybody knows she is out of for mind. she proved it last night with that statement. the system rage when the government chooses winners and losers. it reads the system. is the tax system raked? yes, absolutely. you can go through a myriad of things. look at the cost. a person who buys it makes

1,702,000 year. the guys who subsidizes it makes $36,000 a year, and we are supposed to make ourselves feel better about that. the system is rigged, but to reduce? gerri: last word. >> the sentiments that elisabeth expressed there, frankly, they have been expressed by many people making speeches. she happens to make it in prime time, but i think it is central to the obama campaign which is that the system is rigged against you. america is unjust. you don't have a fighting chance. there is no mobility, no opportunity. therefore government has to do more for you. government is your friend. the private sector is your enemy. that message is very clear and very consistent from the president, frankly, and from this entire convention. gerri: cradle to grave. >> one thing. ronald reagan fixed in three years. gerri: you know what, that's very optimistic. i like ending that way.

that's great. thank you. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> thank you. gerri: now we want to know what you think. here is our question. elizabeth warren says the system is right. do you agree? log on to gerriwillis.com, of the right hand side of the screen and i share the results of the end of the show. last night's on-line question give a pretty clear answer. we asked whether you would be watching a football or bill clinton. 96 percent of you said football. who won the ratings battle? guess what, you were not in the majority. nbc, the giants verses the cowboys, he decides to run nearly 24 million wants to. if you combine all the networks airing the speech, more than 25 million people sent -- to invent. especially their own at the end. coming up, even though much of the country was not watching, bill clinton tried to make the case was night for four more years of president obama. how much of the speech was true?

speech for what was it last night with bill clinton, 48 minutes, is it all school? >> it is pretty much old school. but it is still working as prime-time television. it is a great at to buy time. if you get an unfiltered message, meaning unlike the debates where you are mitt romney or barack obama, you can kind of say what you want to say and from your vision for the country. we really tend to watch them more as television critics. who delivered a good speech : who had the funniest line. the camera. >> for body language, so they have lost some of the relevancy. mitt romney and barack obama are going to be about tied by the time the democratic nomination process is over. gerri: what distinguishes this cycle for many others, particularly the conventions? the republican and democratic. >> it is interesting. i think barack obama tonight has to be a little bit like franklin roosevelt in 1936.

fdr came in. his first term he had the new deal and try to do a lot of things, but the economy was still stagnant. he had to say, need more time. you heard last night, bill clinton saying that up barack obama. so if i were the president would be looking at the 1936 fdr. for mitt romney at think it was an opportunity with his wife to start helping explain who he is. he has never had the kids -- the autobiography. he has been around politics for a while, but there was some thought that people did not know his personality. that is what the convention really serve to do, introduce some. gerri: ronald reagan was a presence at the republican convention even though he wasn't there. is bill clinton starting to be that senior status politician who has the kind of gravitas of ron reagan for the democrats to back. >> that is an interesting question because, you know, with a group of people called reagan democrats, and they really are

these white middle-class male voters that ronald reagan attracted to the republican party. that is the same group that bill clinton is going after. i mean, he is trying to get these independent -- you know, many of these reagan democrats were catholics. they worked the knights of columbus and groups like that. up pending the democratic party. and bill clinton is trying to bring them back on the issue that we care more about the middle-class. so it is still going after that group of swing voters. gerri: reagan spoke on behalf of bush at their convention trying to transfer his popularity to bush. did not really work very well. do you think that clinton can transfer his popularity to obama? >> i don't really think so. what he may have done is raise the bar quite high because by all accounts he gave a king daddy of a speech.

so i think if i am president obama all last night and today i would be really working on the speech even harder. you don't want to have, you know, a sort of note tow address and just kill all of the momentum that bill clinton provided you with. gerri: he did have some big. we are going to let the facts on that speech a little later in the show. i do want to ask you this. what is the one thing that you think president obama needs to achieve tonight to back. >> it is dead dual role. yes to remind people he is commander-in-chief meeting talk about the armed forces. iraq in afghanistan and to wars and then also may be a little bit like ronald reagan. don't just talk about the middle-class and sociological terms, but give examples of somebody living in toledo or columbus ohio. yet be a little bit more of the minister, a little bit more martin luther king. inject some passion. he has an audience now.

i was their last night on the floor. once bill clinton spoke they were getting electrified, but he does not want to be the guy who the media, next day says put a wet blanket of things. i am of the feeling that he has death throes symmetric -- red meat to the crowd and maybe even just mentioning particularly the gm bailout and mitt romney suggesting that detroit died, that might be enough to get that kind of raucous crowd going. gerri: they're probably ready to cheer would be my guess. all those democrats. thanks for coming on. appreciate your time what do you think about the dnc so far? send me an e-mail. ♪ >> coming up. >> the republican argument against the president's reelection is actually pretty simple. a total mess. he had to clean it up. he only put it back again.

♪ gerri: bill clinton knows of the fire of the base. last night's speech was vintage. the answer in 60 seconds.

♪ gerri: former president bill clinton spoke last night, and here is his report card.

dynamic, yes. a great orator, you bet. factually accurate, not a chance. we took a look at some of his claims and found the missing a few details. a lot of details. let's start with jobs. how many can president obama claim to have created? here is bill clinton. >> in the last 29 months our economy has produced about four and a half million private sector jobs. [applause] we could have done better, but last year the republicans lost the president's job plant customer economy more than a million new jobs. so here is another jobs score. president obama plus four and and a half million. gerri: what? here is the reality. total payrolls when the president took office, 111 million. pops up to 106-cent at yuri, but

today 111. that is 300,000 jobs. net new private-sector jobs created over his presidency, pre pocket u.s. meat. and if you factor in a loss of government jobs over that time, the president has created sip, no jobs. that's right. then we talked about obamacare. clinton argued obamacare is allowing more people to get coverage and that the cost is going down. listen to this. >> finally, listen to this, for the last two years after going up at three times the rate of inflation for a decade, for the last two years health care costs have been under 4% in both years for the first time in 50 years. gerri: all right. obamacare has not even really gone into effect yet. these numbers may have more to do with the bad economy. people can't afford health care. they aren't going to a doctor.

there is a good news story you can hang your hat on. you know, cost rising, not declining. let's take a look. according to the kaiser family foundation premiums for singles, other costs is update%. for families it's up 9%. family annual premiums of $15,000, up 113 percent of the decade. so obviously you're paying more. then there is clinton's attempts to debunk news stories that obama is getting welfare reform as we have described on the show. >> so, this is personal to me. we move millions of people off welfare. it was one of the reasons that a years i was president we had 100 times as many people move out of poverty in a middle-class that happened under the previous 12 years, 100 times as many. it's a big deal, but i am telling you, the claim the president obama weekend welfare reform is just not true.

gerri: it's not? really? and nationally recognized welfare expert who also helped to write the 1996 law which, by the way, clinton veto three times, the man's name, robert rector says new rules from the obama administration will begin work participation standards that require 30 percent of able-bodied welfare recipients to work 20-30 hours a week. that is just the way it is. and, look, i can go on and on and on. clinton's claim, obama's budget would cut the deficit. no way. no serious budget analyst believes that. the president is counting savings from winding down the war in afghanistan, a savings of we have already counted, thank you very much. clinton says that is not good arithmetic. you know what it is, it's a budget gimmick. clinton's report cut from last night, soaring oratory, check. fax, few and far between, my friend. i guess when you don't have a record to run and you have to resort to really give

speechifying. more of that tonight when the president speaks. coming up later, we head back to the dnc consisting a look at the president obama will say tonight. you will share that with you. plus, as we debated will create more new jobs, some industries are slowing, disappearing. you will tell you which ones that get a preview of tomorrow's of importance of number from the very important economist. don't go away. ♪

your things are kind of nutty on the floor right now. >> reporter: that's right. i get to that in the second. just want to let you know that we do have some excerpts from the obama campaign of what the president will be talking about. listen. he's going to say to my going to give the american people a clear choice here. he wants to make a choice between his vision and governor on his vision. he says he will say, i will predict to pat them offering is cookeries seat. i never have. you did not like me to tell you what you wanted to year. you elected me to tell you the truth. for the truth is it will take more than a few years pressed assault challenges that have built up over decades. we have been told that the president will continue to at allied proposals for making the economy stronger. they say there will be in the same block as the be ever before. that is their frays. education, clean energy. tax credits for job creation. go ahead.

gerri: let me interrupt you. at the rear looking at the same comments. is talking about shared responsibility, but think. a common effort, and he is invoking fdr here, which i think is interesting. perhaps the comparison he would like to have made. >> yes. lesson. that is kind of the first time we have heard that, raising a new dealer. the president in a way saying he is offering the president, offering the voters a new deal like president -- beckham roosevelt gerri: going to create a million new manufacturing jobs by the end of 2016. double exports by the year 2014. what you make of that? >> the same things before similar. but to manage expectations. this is not going to be listed

of the union address. a long list of specific proposals. he will repeat and expand on a lot of previous proposals. gerri: peter burns, always great to see you. thank you for helping as of tonight. appreciate it. all right. you can watch president obama's speech as well as vice-president biden and more right here. it is being hosted by neil cavuto, and he is doing a terrific job with that. meanwhile, 16 trillion counting. topping the astronauts like figure just two days ago. for more on dealing with our nation's big financial troubles and they are many, harvard economics professor and adviser to the romney campaign joining me now. i want you to respond first to this promise of creating a million new manufacturing jobs. that is the, the president will make tonight. can he do it? >> very nice if he could, but that don't know of any concrete plans that he put forward that would make that credible. unfortunately manufacturing production jobs are down to

about 8% of the total work force. that is about 10 million jobs in total. it is hard to see how we are going to get another million jobs in what has been at declining part of the economy. gerri: you know politics. you promise first and then people can ask questions later. recently you were an op-ed on the "wall street journal" that would bear was discussed tonight. he said that mitt romney's tax plan which has been heavily criticized is mathematically possible. the fact it you can actually cut taxes and raise revenue and even get rid of some deductions. how so? >> well, what tax policy center report said was that romney proposal to cut tax rates by 20% to eliminate the alternative minimum tax, make other changes, it was simply not possible. it was not math medically, to

use their term, possible. so that was basically saying he was not telling the truth. gerri: true or false? >> it is false. what i showed a net loss street journal piece last wednesday was that there are many ways in which you could do it. the simplest to be eliminating deductions. nobody is proposing that particular plan, but that was just to show one way in which it could happen. gerri: i have to tell you, that is where there is some frustration with this plan. we don't know what kind of deductions is talking about. it is a mystery. he talks about getting rid of some, but we don't know which ones. >> i don't know what would be likely, but remember, the bulls simpson commission talked about the fact that there are a trillion dollars worth of so-called tax expenditures, special features in the tax law, almost all of them in the personal tax law, so there is a lot to pick among if you're looking to do reform.

gerri: all right. i could not forgive myself if i did not ask you about tomorrow's jobs report. expecting some 8%. and pretty disappointing jobs growth, frankly. 125,000. >> the first quarter, we had some pretty good numbers. 130, 150 range. then it dropped dramatically in the second quarter. came back in july. we would get the august number. 200,000 jobs. and not try to out guess the people who are looking at the detail payroll data, but i think the point is this is a number that bounces around a lot. i agenda's been up and down. the real fact is we don't have enough jobs. we have an economy that is in a deep bowl and isn't going anyplace.

gerri: the natural solution to that would be for ben bernanke to get involved. does he say anything else? foxbusiness.com would be the wrong choice. why? >> i don't think the natural solution is ben bernanke. i think the fed has done a lot. i don't think at this point more quantitative easing is going to have in the real attraction on the economy. gerri: why not? >> well, we have interest rates extremely low. mortgage rates are very low. companies are awash in liquidity, the big ones. the little ones have problems of getting access to funds because the banks are short of capital. they can solve that problem. so this has to be dealt with by changing the fiscal cloud that is a meal for the economy. the threat that we are going to see a lot more high tax rates after this election. gerri: well, it's coming. if they don't do something about it. you know, if congress can get its act together to figure out where to get a loss that would be amazing. thank you for coming on tonight. it is always a pleasure to see

you. unemployment may be stagnant, but there are some industries that are seeing huge job losses. industries that may never get the jobs back. according to the bureau of labor statistics some job categories will shrink by at least 14% by 2020. in tonight's top five america's disappearing jobs. semiconductor processes. robots are used more and more and many of these jobs are overseas. this industry is expecting to see a loss of nearly 18 percent by 2020. communication equipment operators, telephone operators. they still exist, believe better not. expected to do percent of these jobs disappear. number three, shoe and leather workers. it seems people are more willing to buy new shoes and get old ones repaired. hello. selling machine operators, more than a quarter of these jobs that don't even require high-school diploma will no longer exist but 2020. and the number one disappearing jobs, postal workers. that's right.

the u.s. ps says it flosses -- loses $57 million a day and cannot afford to keep the work force as it is, much less hire new workers. more than 26% will be cut, but some predict that number may be closer to 50%. we will have to wait and see. also, the stock market soaring, some in the s&p 500 to its highest level since january january 2008. the dow hit its highest mark since december 2007. this bike, welcome message finally getting some concrete plans out of europe. ashley webster joins us from frankfurt, germany with the very latest. >> reporter: said he would do whatever it takes to preserve the euro. today the head of the ecb gave what the markets want it, and of limited bond buying program in debt restoring stability and confidence. more importantly, reducing the sky high bond yields that we have seen in both spain and italy. >> there is no example. we want this to be perceived as

♪ gerri: it is no secret a trip to the doctor's office will cost you, but the same exact procedure could wind up double the cost depending on where you go into is in charge. why is that? the hospitals are buying a private practices leaving you, your insurer, or even medicare picking up the tab. director of consumers what start. joining me now. thatcher coming and the show tonight. why is there such a huge price stamp? >> we have a case of hospitals are in their way around. this was street journal story expose a phenomenon that is becoming more and more common across the country where individual, independent physician practices are being bought up by larger hospital groups. and those hospital groups are throwing their weight around in

the market, pressuring insurance companies to pay more for the same exact procedures that doctors offices were providing for less. gerri: let's take a look at some of that and difference allocation. i'm going to start with the full screen that talks about specific -- specific things like the diagnostic colonoscopy. there are 118 percent difference in cost. electrocardiogram, 85%. it goes on and on. it is interesting. the cost is so different. are the procedures to forget all? >> in many cases the procedures are exactly the same. in fact, in many cases they're the same procedure performed by the same position or technician in the same facility. what we see here is simply a difference in the code that a hospital puts on your bill verses a doctor. there is a clear problem here. we see avast price difference,

like he said. 100 percent, 200% for the same exact procedure. simply pushing insurance companies around. gerri: what are they saying in their defense? >> hospitals will tell you that they have higher costs. there will tell you that they're paying for more things than simply the procedure, but i think when you have these examples where you have the same procedure in the same place is clean up the only problem. i said that hospitals are deftly to blame because they're trying to pressure insurance companies to accept higher fees. at the same time insurance companies are entirely by ms. insurance companies, when they're faced with a hospital that demands a higher price often don't have a lot of financial incentives to press back against that it hospital. so we have a dual system here where consumers lose when hospitals pressure insurance companies to pay more, and insurance companies don't have a great financial incentive to pressure them to pay less because they just pass on that cost to the consumer.

gerri: as you go i will read this quote. we found essentially no correlation between average cost and the measure the level of care quality across markets. high-cost does not necessarily equal better quality. thank you for coming on the show tonight. >> absolutely. thank you for having me. gerri: still to come, my "2 cents more," and they're back. all those credit card offers that you did in the mail promising 0% a prc. should you toss them out? coming up.

them. the way you get them back is to essentially overwhelm them, kind of shock and of them, if you will, with these offers of 0% balance transfer, 0% on new purchases. no balance transfer fee for the next year-and-a-half. those are pretty fantastic tales if you look at them on the surface. gerri: do you like them? >> i like them if they're is a purpose behind them. i know that is a little confusing. let me explain. credit cards interest rates are likely going to be the highest interest rates that you will ever pay unless you have some sort of ridiculous bailout. 13-15%. the highest debt you ever carry. 0 percent is much better, and if you can transfer your more expensive credit card debt to one of these new cards with a 0% interest rate for a year-and-a-half and you can do a good job of getting out of that debt then i think, you know, it's a win for the consumer. the loss for the consumer is that they just continue to use both cards. then they have lost. gerri: that is never good.

>> i want to ask you about the consumer financial protection bureau. they are, after these credit card companies are doling out these protections to another going away. i think this is good news. i know a lot of smart people who pay the -- sign up for this. if you lose your job the credit-card company promises to come in and make your credit card payments, but the devil is really in the details. >> i'm not sure what i dislike more, prepaid debit cards or prevent protection plans. i am still waiting which is the worst of both the bulls. the cftc came in and some capitol one pretty significantly, $60 million fine, plus it had to give back 150 million of the gains from the deceptive marketing of these types of programs. bank of america, chase, and american express have dropped selling his services. that should tell you something. hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue that these companies are forgoing because they fear
